At the gym this week, I noticed something I almost walked right past.

The water fountain keeps track of how many plastic bottles people avoid by choosing to refill. No applause. No announcement. Just a quiet number adding up over time.

It made me think about how we measure growth in our own lives.

We often look for the big moments, but real progress usually looks much smaller.

Choosing rest instead of pushing through. Having the honest conversation. Protecting your time. Saying no. Showing up again when you do not feel like it.

None of those moments feel significant on their own. But they count.

And over time, they compound.

So if your progress feels invisible right now, do not dismiss it. The habits you are building, the boundaries you are holding, and the choices you are making with intention are adding up.

You do not need loud results to prove you are making progress. You just need to keep showing up.

If you are in a season of figuring out what comes next, I would love to connect and hear what you are navigating!

Healthy leaders build healthier teams! 💙

Prioritizing mental health helps leaders strengthen self-awareness, improve communication, and lead with greater empathy and resilience.

Remember, taking care of yourself is part of being a great leader.

Promoted to manager but never taught how to lead? 👀

Strong employees often struggle with communication, delegation, feedback, and difficult conversations after stepping into leadership.

Because being a great employee doesn’t automatically make you a great leader.

At TWS Coaching, we help managers build the skills to lead with confidence!

Excited to Take the Stage at The FUTURE Leadership Conference 2026!
I’m thrilled to be speaking at The FUTURE: Failure to Faith and Focus to Fortune, hosted by REDDjobb Advisors on Saturday, November 7, in Charlotte!

Sometimes leadership isn’t about everything going according to plan. It’s about what we learn when it doesn’t, and finding the clarity and courage to move forward.
As a 26-year Navy veteran, I’m especially honored to serve as a keynote speaker and panelist for the Salute to Leadership by Military Veterans, sharing lessons from my own journey about failure, faith, focus, and knowing when it’s time for your next mission.

The FUTURE brings together veterans, professionals, entrepreneurs, coaches, educators, and community leaders for a day of learning, conversation, and connection.

📅 November 7, 2026 | 8:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.
📍 Hope Hall, Caldwell Presbyterian Church | Charlotte, NC

Attendance is intentionally limited to 60 participants to create space for meaningful conversations and connections. The FUTURE - Mission

The ICF Southeast Region Conference was earlier this month, and I’m just now carving out time to process it all. Life kept moving, and there was so much to take in! 😊

A heartfelt thank-you to ICF South Carolina for hosting and creating such a memorable experience at my first event of this kind, with support from our ICF Global Southeast Region leadership.

One lesson keeps coming back to me: chapter leadership is a team sport.
Leaders grow by showing up as members, serving on committees, learning the board’s work, and making room for others to grow alongside them.

As President-Elect of ICF Charlotte, I’m holding onto two questions: What needs to get done? And how am I showing up while we do it?

Good planning matters. So do relationships, shared responsibility, and knowing when to pause before saying yes to one more thing. Coaching helps with all of it, in a session, around a board table, and in everyday life.

Here’s to more people finding their place to contribute, grow, and lead. 🙌🏾

One thing I’ve learned since becoming a business owner is how much I value connecting with other veterans who have taken the leap into entrepreneurship!

There’s something special about talking with someone who understands both sides of the journey.

You go from serving in one environment with a clear mission and a team around you to building something of your own, making decisions every day, figuring things out as you go, and carrying the responsibility that comes with being a business owner.

The transition can be exciting, but it can also be challenging in ways that people outside of that experience may not fully understand.

That’s why connecting with other veteran business owners means so much to me. There’s an understanding, a shared perspective, and often a lot we can learn from each other.

If you’re a veteran and a business owner, I’d love to connect with you.

Drop a 🇺🇸 in the comments or tell me what you’re building. I’d genuinely love to hear your story and support other veterans on this journey!

Leadership can come with a lot of pressure!

People look to you for answers. Your team depends on you. Your business depends on you. And sometimes, it’s easy to forget that you’re a person too.

One thing I’ve learned through my own experiences in leadership is that taking care of yourself isn’t a weakness. It’s part of being a strong leader.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to carry everything alone. And you don’t have to sacrifice your entire life to be successful.

Sometimes leadership starts with something simple: slowing down, getting clear, and asking yourself what you need.

That’s a big part of the work I do through TWS.

What’s one thing you’ve learned about leadership that you wish you knew earlier?

If you’re new here, let me reintroduce myself. I’m Shikina, a veteran, leader, coach, and the person behind TWS!

My experience as a veteran shaped so much of who I am today. It taught me about leadership, discipline, resilience, accountability, and what it really means to keep moving forward when things get hard.

But transitioning from one chapter of life into another also taught me something else.

Even strong, capable people can feel stretched thin, stuck, or unsure of what comes next.

That’s a big part of why I do what I do today.

With an MBA, graduate level training in mental health coaching, and certifications in leadership, mindset, and relationship coaching, I work with professionals, veterans, and entrepreneurs who are ready to lead themselves first and create more clarity, confidence, and balance in their lives.

TWS is about more than coaching. It’s about helping people reconnect with who they are, where they’re going, and what matters most.

If you’re new here, I’m glad you’re here. And if you’re a fellow veteran, I’d especially love to connect!

Tell me below: What’s one lesson your life experience has taught you that you still carry with you today?

09/23/2026

What kind of leader are you when no one is watching?

Leadership isn’t just about the title, the position, or how you show up in the room.

It’s about how you make decisions when no one is there to applaud you.
How you handle pressure when no one sees it.
How you communicate when it would be easier to stay silent.
And how you treat people when there’s nothing to gain.

The strongest leaders understand that leadership starts from within.

That’s the work I do through TWS Coaching & Consulting. Helping leaders gain clarity, strengthen their confidence, and become more intentional about the way they lead.

So I’ll leave you with this:

Who are you choosing to be as a leader when no one is watching? 👇🏽

A trip to Europe reminded me just how much there is to experience when you give yourself permission to step outside the familiar. ✈️🌍

Walking through new cities, experiencing different cultures, and simply taking in the moment gave me space to reflect on my own journey.

It reminded me that growth happens when we stay curious, embrace change, and trust ourselves enough to take the next step!

Those same lessons are at the heart of the work I do today as a leadership coach.

Through TWS Coaching, I help leaders and professionals gain clarity, build confidence, and lead themselves with intention.

Because sometimes your next chapter starts with simply being willing to see life from a different perspective.

If you’re ready to explore what’s next for you, let’s connect!
